Thunder Mountain Challenge

Come conquer Thunder Mountain in its debut year!

Choose your challenge: the The Bridal 5Kave, the 3-hour challenge, or the 6-hour challenge.

Each climb up Thunder Mountain gains approximately 300 feet of elevation in about 1/2 mile.

The Bridal 5Kave will complete three out-and-backs. In the 3-hour and 6-hour challenges, the winner is the runner who reaches the top of Thunder Mountain the most times within the race window.

There will be one aid station located at the top of Thunder Mountain. Runners will pass the aid station after every out-and-back. A check-in captain will track each runner’s climbs in real time throughout the event.

All finishers in The Bridal 5Kave, 3-hour challenge, and 6-hour challenge will receive a finisher award. Awards will also be given to the top overall male and female finishers in each race.
